This, fellas, is my VERY FIRST CUSTOM! I had made this in 1992 since I never had a complete G1 Magnus as a kid. All I had was the cab section that I got from a friend in the 2nd grade. I figured I would dust it off, touch up some of the paint and show him off for all to see! Made from a G1 UM cab, a G2 Prime trailer, G2 Constructicon and Aerialbot parts. The head came from G1 Scattershot. It's been sitting in pieces in various bins for quite some time. So here he is! My, less cumbersome, less bricky, more in scale Generation One Ultra Magnus! Keep in mind I was 13 when I did this. I did touch up the paint recently but other than that, this was made 20 years ago Enjoy
this is great in many ways, mainly cause it's your first which is awesome of you to share it with us i can't even remember mine and i'm 18! Lol
Great piece! Goes to show that if you can't find the toys you're looking for, you can always build them.
Good lord, you were a master from day one. Even if you hadn't posted this as a "retro" custom I still would have been impressed, it looks great. In context, it's really amazing
Holy Fragballs. Now THIS is an improvement. I like how you made Magnus a lot slimmer and more like his cartoon form whilst keeping him in scale. Truly sir, I am impressed.
Great job. I'd take one of these. Though I love the clean look of Vanilla Prime as Ultra Magnus, it's just not the same. Your figure is right on.
U know, this just simply shows ur great talent!!... cuz If U told me this 20yrs ago, I prolly wouldn't believe u were 13 heheh and still 4 2day it looks awesome!! can I make a suggestion? Make a 2nd one inspired from this version and make an updated version
My favorite aspect of this custom is just how G1-y it really is. Had this been made officially by Hasbro, it's totally on the mark.
